When I’m so sick I can’t eat anything else. Or so stressed that all texture and food feels wrong in my mouth, watermelon is always there for me. It’s tasty and it’s hydrating which is especially good if you’ve lost water due to being ill. It’s the perfect starter food to test the waters of whether your body can handle food right now, if it can I then move on to Heinz tomato soup with toast.

Whenever i feel the sickness coming I always feel like drinking water is not enough and I don’t mean drink a soda or something. I usually get pocari sweat it helps replenishing ions and electrolytes in your body I actually don’t know what that means but it’s healthy and good for u. A lemon water with cucumber in it could work too. And lastly just rest and be gentle to yourself, tell your mom even assuming you have a decent relationship with her she would love to take care of you.

grilled cheese + tomato soup, saltines, and just pounding gatorade throughout the day. eating the simplest to make comfort-y comfort foods that won’t agitate my symptoms at all while i let the medicine do it’s thing (added benefit is big “home sick from school” vibes)

I am by no means traditionally religious, but I fully understand how being in the presence of beautiful stained glass can feel like being with god. ALWAYS stop off at a church on the way if you think it might have good stained glass. The bluebells in the bottom right corner of this made me loose my breath for a moment.

I used to be envious of people who had “MySpace friends” or “tumblr friends”. Now I have PI.FYI friends. Thank you capyboppy for your lovely letter and this illustration of a capybara and a mouse with fruit on our heads, it made me weirdly emotional ❤️
